About Little Room
Little Room is a after-work bbq spot in Los Angeles, CA, with a no-frills feel and a quick order-at-the-counter setup with a small patio. The kitchen leans into bbq done well, dough is fermented for at least 48 hours for better flavor.
The signature item to try first is the Mac & Cheese, which has earned a loyal following. The rest of the menu rounds it out with options like Brisket Plate, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Smoked Ribs, plus rotating specials that change with the season. Portions are generous for the price point ($$$), and the kitchen is consistent — orders come out fast even when the place is full.
On a typical day you'll find a steady mix of office workers, students, and curious tourists, especially around the lunch and dinner rushes. The bar pours old-school fountain drinks, hand-spun shakes, and bottled root beer. Most dishes can be made dairy-free on request. The dining room is clean, the music is at a reasonable volume, and the wifi works.
For ordering, they offer a small loyalty program — every tenth visit is free. The price-to-quality ratio is what brings most people back a second time. Whether you're new to Los Angeles or a longtime resident hunting for a reliable bbq fix, Little Room earns a spot in the regular rotation.

Great bbq option for the area. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Solid spot. The Cornbread is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Smoked Ribs stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Mixed feelings. The Brisket Plate was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Cornbread hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
